The lab is named for 1954 Laconia High School graduate Richard Dearborn, the founder of Eptam Plastics, which is now located in Northfield.There will be an open house from 6-7:30 p.m. at the high school following the dedication ceremony.On Friday, September 27 alumni who will be participating in the homecoming parade, will gather on the lawn at Laconia High School at 3:45 p.m., where cars from the decade in which they graduated, including a 1930 Duesenberg, will be available for them to ride in during the parade, which gets underway at 4 p.m., will go into downtown Laconia before returning to the high school.At 5 p.m. a Meet and Greet reception will be held at the Meredith Village Savings Bank Culinary Arts Center at the Huot Center.The ongoing alumni reunion will be held from 6-10 p.m. at the high school, with tours of the school to view all the recent renovations.Decade tables will be set up in the culinary arts center where videos and memorabilia will be available and alumni can share memories.Greeley recalled that he and his wife, Bonnie (Pike) Greeley, a 1973 LHS grad, met at a high school football game and that they have always held good memories of their student days at LHS and hope to share their experiences since graduation at the 40th reunion of Bonnie's class, which takes place over the weekend.Randy Brough, who is Laconia Public Library director, said that proceeds realized from the LHS Alumni Reunion will go to the Lakes Region Scholarship Foundation through the LHS Alumni Scholarship Fund.He said that since 1956 the scholarship foundation has awarded 4,300 students $4.6 million in scholarships thanks to the generosity of 500 donors or donor funds.He said that the foundation will be holding its 13th Annual Community Spelling Bee at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 17 at the LHS Auditorium and that the Laconia Library team will be one of the participants.During the weekend the LHS Alumni Reunion Committee will be awarding an honorary LHS Alumni Award to former Superintendent of Schools Bob Champlin, who worked for 31 years in the Laconia school system, the last 13 as superintendent.Homecoming weekend will continue on Saturday with a number of athletic contests at the Bank of New Hampshire Stadium, field hockey at 9:30 a.m., girls soccer at noon and 1:30 p.m., boys soccer at 3:30 and 5 p.m. and volleyball contests in the LHS gym at 3 and 4:30 p.m.Janet Brough said that the idea for the reunion weekend originated with Jim Carroll, class of 1965, and has proved very popular with LHS graduates.
